Error description

This APAR is a follow-up to APAR PM76571.
WebSphere Portal default behavior during logout and
impersonation is to invalidate the HTTP session in WebSphere
Application Server as well as to expire the browser
JSESSIONID cookie by setting (Expires=Thu, 01 Dec 1994
16:00:00 GMT). This will force the browser to delete the
JSESSIONID cookie.
With this APAR, the portal logout/impersonation behavior is
now configurable so that the logout and impersonation process
will still invalidate the HTTP session, but will not
revoke/expire the JSESSIONID cookie. The default behavior is
unchanged (the cookie will be expired!).
To change this, use the WAS Admin console:
- Environment -> Resource Environment Providers
- WP AuthenticationService -> Custom Properties
- add new property:
jsessionid.cookie.expire=false (default value = true)
- save, synchronize and restart servers
